Stealthy pollinators

How come bees and butterflies get all the pollinator credit? Moths may not be as buzzy or flashy, but they get the job done, too. You’ll probably find out that most moths have feather-like antennas, whereas butterflies have ball- or club-shaped growths at the tip of their antennae. Of course, since most moths are nocturnal, you may want to leave a light on outside to see them.
